In my opinion, the manager of the restauraunt should have been able to see that the party was not causing any harm. Just because the white customer had some sort of predjudice, doesn't mean the manager should have kicked them out. To me it seems that the manager just used that as an excuse to kick out some African American people who she couldn't have kicked out before.
Also, the apology offer of free meals can not just fix everything. When people feel they are excluded for something they can not control, it hurts more than a few free wings could fix.

I HAVE A DREAM ASSIGNMENT
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
I believe that Dr.King meant that if people do not speak up, then nothing will change and the rest of their lives won't matter. When people do nothing to make a change, then it's like their already dead and can't do anything.
It was relevant for the time period because many African Americans sat around letting America push them around. People weren't standing up and demanding what the Constitution and Emancipation Proclamation promised them as American citizens.

Martin's speech said that no matter what color someone is, they should be treated completly equal. He said that the Negros were given a bad check, that came back with insuficient funds, but that the bank of justice is not bankrupt. He said now is the time to get out the quicksand of unequality and stand on the rock of brotherhood. Those are the phrases that stuck out the most to me.
